Title: cherry keypad KBC-3700BUSB vs KBC-3700B
Post by: quake4mhg on Mon, 26 November 2012, 18:06:52

I would like to ask, what's different between these keypads. AFAIK, the USB one needs the Cherry Tools' software to program macro, but the PS/2 one is on keypad. Anyone can share experience with either one of these keypad would be appreciated. Currently using Filco, get addicted 😊

Those are G84-4700 actually, have ML switch. There is better choice for numpad than those for better price. Maybe have a look in this thread about numpads (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=37709.0)...
